Dylan Guenther scores twice in Utah's 6-0 rout of Chicago

Fantasy hockey: Guenther's two-goal, five-shot night against the Blackhawks shows the offensive upside managers expected from a top power-play role.

Dylan Guenther scored twice and fired five shots in 14:33 as Utah routed the Blackhawks 6-0 on Thursday, October 1. Both goals came on the power play in the lopsided victory.

The performance reflects the kind of output Guenther can deliver on the first power-play unit. His recent averages of 0.48 goals, 0.48 assists and 3.0 shots per game paint him as a 0.96-point scorer over 190 games in the model sample, and his underlying play grades 99 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

Guenther's two-goal night came in fewer minutes than his usual 17:18 per game, but his five shots matched the pace that underpins his recent averages. He ranks second among all Utah skaters in power-play time at 3:01 a night, and both his goals on Thursday came with the man advantage. His process grade of 99 out of 100 suggests the volume of chances he creates should keep his scoring consistent.

Utah plays three more times this week, on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. Guenther's combination of shots, power-play time and strong underlying metrics makes him a standard hold in all formats. His 0.96 points per game and 0.38 power-play points per game over the sample establish him as a reliable contributor who should keep producing at this level.

What to do

• Keep Guenther in all lineups for Utah's three remaining games this week.

• His elite process grade and power-play role give him a high floor for consistent production.

• Expect his shot volume and scoring-chance creation to sustain his recent scoring pace.
